Blue states are not safe for trans people because the ones doing the most direct, day-to-day harm to the trans community are not rabid Trumpists but the centrists and liberals cutting deals and following orders.

Mount Sinai reaches deal with Trump DOJ to end gender affirming care for minors gothamist.com/news/mount-s...

my latest: Massachusetts is one of the safest states for trans people—but multiple hospitals preemptively ended youth trans care over Trump admin threats to cut fed funding. on Wed, trans activists took their HRT at a govt office and refused to leave without a commitment to fight those hospitals.

Even in safe-haven Massachusetts, trans care is at risk. Young people are fighting to protect it

Activists are calling on the state attorney general to take action against hospitals that have ended gender-affirming care programs after Trump retook office

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.

Markey's primary win was a clear signal that Massachusetts supports trans people but I don't think most cis people realize that even in the deepest blue states like Massachusetts they are cutting back and restricting trans health care.

BREAKING: 9 activists arrested protesting gender affirming care reductions in MA More here: assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Massachusetts law forbids providers from withholding care based on gender identity, but Fenway Health ended lifesaving gender-affirming care for 400 young people almost a year ago and so far has gotten away with it. So much for our "progressive" state. Solidarity with the arrested activists.

it's interesting how unrepentant a lot of HP fans are compared to tesla owners, but a lot of them are like that too feels like some HP people want the stickers tho, and that's like asking for a slur pass x 100

it's not an exaggeration to say that jk rowling is the world's most powerful and prominent transphobe outside of elon musk it's easy to not buy a tesla and it's easy to not watch the harry potter tv show

I absolutely hate hate hate how normal it's become for non former catholics to cheer on the pope. However entertaining it is to watch the church clash with conservative leaders, it is still an institution that continues to harm trans people to the UTMOST.

Underneath the "progressive" papacy of Pope Leo remains a deeply reactionary institution, one of the biggest enemies of trans rights worldwide. @sjklapecki.itch.io, who survived the Catholic Church's bigotry firsthand, goes in-depth on why it's time to see through the propaganda and face reality.

i want games made by people who get to keep their jobs

Most of Star Wars Zero Company's developers were furloughed weeks ago: aftermath.site/star-wars-zero...

workers also planted flags outside the office, one for each laid-off dev. the union sent me a video of all of them, and the number is truly striking. imagine just... ignoring that

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

there's clearly no point in scolding most people for their indifference to anti-trans bigotry. the refusal to leave Harry Potter behind, the hemming and hawing about the NYT's puzzles. people won't even put down their toys for us. I cannot express the white-hot frustration boiling in my stomach.

it’s my transiversary! if you wanted to send me a little something for my second birthday so I could treat myself to dinner tonight, I’d really appreciate it! 💙🏳️‍⚧️

I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.

We are approaching being out of the negatives for the money raised and could use the help so please come in and tip or share it around so someone can tip~!

I’ll never understand why losers and weirdos still shill for HP when the Percy Jackson series is effectively the same concept executed ten thousand times better, is more genuine in its inclusiveness, and whose author is not a bigot

Always worth emphasising that if a society can inflict so much misery and death on marginalised people solely due a bigot selling a lot of mediocre children's books that society is utterly rotten and needs drastic changes.

LRP… yes. I know cis adults like this. Ive even had one who knows I’m trans say to my face (paraphrasing), “I know we shouldnt support her politics, but the kids like it, so!” *shrug* “but the kids like it” is a horrid excuse to keep HP relevant in the zeitgeist.

At first I thought it was because people didn't know about her policies but after a friend said they were still buying HP for their kids, even knowing where the money went, I gave up all hope on anything short of the mold getting her.

JK Rowling has used her wealth to stoke the fires of a worldwide pogrom against trans people to where she's silenced a Holocaust scholar after JK engaged in Holocaust denial & now done the same to Amnesty International for their warning about trans eradication, but keep buying your Harry Potter crap

The game industry is so fucking back

"Trans people will always exist." Cool. "They can't kill us all." Comforting. Yeah, transness will survive, but *I* want to survive, too, y'know? But also, survival and existence aren't enough for me anymore, and they shouldn't be enough for allies either. I want to see my trans friends thrive.

ran into an unexpected expense this morning. I’m not in desperate need but if you wanted to give a trans guy even just a little bit of cash on the last day of Pride month, that would be super chill: ko-fi.com/himdianajones
